Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution
Abstract
The accounting profession took a major blow to its credibility in 2002 when numerous scandals surfaced on the front pages of newspapers seemingly everyday. The most notable stories told of two women who, despite the enormous pressure and harassment they knew they would face, came forward to reveal the ugly truth behind the facades of America's corporate skyscrapers. Cynthia Cooper and Sherron Watkins, employees at WorldCom and Enron respectively, blew the whistle on major accounting frauds at these companies. Their employers' retaliation was harsh and swift, revealing the truth about how todays' corporate juggernauts operate.
